In the artwork, the viewer is presented with a lively depiction of Dresden, focusing on a tramway coursing through the city. The warm, earthy tones and fluid lines convey a sense of movement and energy, capturing the essence of city life. Large buildings loom in the background, while trees and figures populate the foreground, adding depth and detail to the scene. The strong contrast between light and dark areas accentuates the vibrancy and dynamism of the depicted urban environment.
